PART TWO
Fade to a panning shot of a field.
The flying car floats down, then swerves the bottom
toward the camera, then up and away from it. The surfer wails the whole time.
Cut to the door of the car. It descends
to reveal the panicking surfer with both hands on the wheel. A blue, intangible
Tucker phases through the ceiling and sits down in the passenger seat. Tucker
puts up a finger as the man looks terrified at him.
TUCKER: Chill, dude!
Tucker curls his fingers into a fist
by his chest and resumes full color.
TUCKER: Tucker Phantom’s (puts down his arm) on the case!
Cut to the backseat of the car.
Danny phases his head through the backseat invisibly.
DANNY: “Tucker Phantom”?
Danny phases
the rest of the way through and lifts a hand next to his head in an annoyed
way.
DANNY: Okay, ignoring the (looks up sardonically) total
originality of that,--
Danny sits down,
resumes full color and throws his hands up.
DANNY: --how
the heck did you get ghost powers, anyway?
What?
Tucker can’t have a cool name, too? Foley, Phantom. Not like Fenton and Phantom
but close enough. Of course, Dennis’s last name is very close to “Ghost” and
would probably be [Dennis] Ghost if given the choice. Clunk.
Cut to Tucker, looking to the
backseat.
TUCKER: Who knows? (looks gleeful) And more importantly, (looks down, thrilled) who cares?
Cut to the car. The surfer has his
hands off the wheel, confused. Danny looks angry. Tucker turns forward and
lifts his hand.
TUCKER: And now if you’ll excuse me,--
Danny grits his teeth as Tucker
takes the wheel. Both Danny and the surfer are scared.
TUCKER: --I
have some heroic exploits to attend to!
When
Dennis saw the first half, she thought Tucker would be like a partner to Danny
with his newfound powers. As of this point, it’s more like Tucker’s trying to
get a slice of the hero jazz himself.
The man lifts his hands in front of
him and leans back as Danny reaches from the backseat onto the wheel and grunts
in effort turning it.
Cut to Danny. He turns his eyes to
the left.
DANNY: *Tucker*! (eyes pop open in terror) We’re too young
to drive!
Cut to the flying car outside.
Streams of green energy come from it. It swerves away from the camera, then points the bottom toward it as the surfer wails. Then
it does a barrel roll.
DANNY: (offscreen)
Let go of the wheel!
The car does another barrel roll.
DANNY: This
is serious!
Cut to the backseat. Danny is
slammed back-first into it.
Cut to a back view of the car,
closing in on a building. The silhouettes of the surfer, Danny and Tucker are
in the window.
Cut to in the car. Tucker has his
hands on the wheel and is wailing, the surfer has one hand on the wheel and
another by his mouth, he panics as well. Danny is in the backseat looking
determined. Zoom in on them.
Cut to Danny with his hands on the
chair in the backseat. He puts his head down to concentrate as his body starts glowing all blue and turns intangibly blue.
Cut to the flying car as Tucker and
the surfer are wailing. The car glows blue and turns intangible, phasing into
the windows of the building.
Cut to inside an office. No one is
present. It contains items like file cabinets, papers, desks, chairs and a
potted plant. The clock reads “3:00”. The car phases through the back wall and
the next wall as Tucker and the surfer wail.
Cut to another part of the office
with a sink and three cubicles. The car phases through four cubicle walls and
out the back wall.
Cut to an office with a sofa,
computer, plant and water cooler. The car phases through the back wall and
through many more, panning left as the wing rotates.
Cut to outside the building. The car
phases out of it and swoops around to the right offscreen.
Cut to a window of the car. Tucker
puts his hands on the pane and looks out the back way. He looks angry. He
closes his eyes.
TUCKER: Oh sure.
Cut to Tucker in the window with the
surfer at the wheel. Danny is poking his head through the backseat window,
incredulous.
TUCKER: (lifting
a hand and looking up, annoyed) Phase the car through the building!
Tucker puts his hand on the pane and
looks at Danny.
TUCKER: You
*had* to save the day, *didn’t you*?
Cut to Danny.
DANNY: Uh, (looks back) *yeah*, because (looks
forward angrily and points a thumb over his shoulder) a car smashing into
the 28th floor of *anything* (puts
down his hand and leans forward for emphasis) is *BAD*!
Cut to Tucker leaning on the window,
his eyes narrowed and his fists on the pane.
TUCKER: You’re just jealous! Because there’s
somebody else (points to himself with his
thumb) around to grab the spotlight now!
Cut to the surfer. His fists is by his chest and is pointing forward nervously.
SURFER: Yo! Hallucinations! (looks forward and
pokes his finger in the air) Focus!
Cut to Danny.
DANNY: When have I ever grabbed the
spotlight?
This
early in Danny Phantom, Danny’s ghost identity isn’t really known to anyone
outside the Ghost Zone, according to Sidney in SI, and Vlad in BR one episode
later (but he probably knew from Skulker in OoaK).
Danny’s ghostly identity is fairly under wraps until PE, which is bad
attention, and by FP Danny doesn’t really want the spotlight; it just shines on
him too much. Only time I can think of Danny enjoying and relishing attention
is IR, which Tucker wholeheartedly supported. Clunk.
Cut to Tucker with his hands curled
on the pane.
TUCKER: How about right now, for instance?
Close-up on the shocked surfer’s
face. He starts wailing again.
Cut to a house with a fenced field
by it. The car flies over it. Pan right over another house, a barn, a cart of
hay and a fenced field with grazing horses to an open silo full of corn.
Cut to the open silo. The car flies
into the window displacing a large amount of corn.
Pan down to the closed doors on the
bottom of the silo. The doors slam open and corn is dumped out onto the field
along with the car and the surfboard, the car’s doors are open.
Cut to just next to the car and the
surfboard. A chicken falls down into the corn and clucks with feathers
everywhere. It starts to peck at the corn. The chicken flails its wings as the
surfer’s head pokes out from underneath the corn. He looks up, confused. Then
he smiles as the chicken pecks again.
SURFER: Shyeeah!
There’s a chicken on my head!
Cut to a pile of corn by the barn
with the surfboard in it. Danny phases out of the corn.
DANNY: Tucker, *please*. (resumes full color and lifts his hands) This
is stupid.
Tucker phases out of the corn next
to Danny and resumes full color.
DANNY: You’re
my best friend.
Danny puts out his arms and looks to
Tucker.
DANNY: I’m
not jealous, I’m concerned!
Cut to Tucker.
TUCKER: Well, (clenches his fists) don’t be! (narrows his eyes) This town’s big enough for more than (floats up and away) one ghost kid!
Cut to Danny, looking up in concern.
Zoom out.
DANNY: Tuck! (holds up a hand) wait!
Cut to Tucker. He drifts up, then turns around in ready pose, blasting off in a beam of
green light with a series of rings.
Cut to Danny.
DANNY: Whoa! I can’t fly that fast.
Danny looks forward in concern, zoom
in.
DANNY: Is
he getting more powerful?
Cut to a strip mall. There is a TV
repair place next to a postbox. Another store reads “Pets”. In between is a
shop that reads “Mr.
Meat Butcher Shop” in a cleaver sign,
with two sausage links reading “BEEF”.
Sam is heard sneezing twice. Zoom in. Tucker is seen with his head on a platter
near two hams.
SAM: So why didn’t you guys
see a movie today?
A
part of Dennis is both laughing and crying at the fact that the butcher shop is
coincidentally named “Mr. Meat”. For obvious reasons.
Close-up on Tucker with his PDA.
TUCKER: Uh, we got a little distracted.
Cut to the PDA. Sam is in her bed
with her purple, fuzzy pajamas and her bat slippers blowing her nose. Her hand
is on her laptop. She removes her tissue and looks forward.
TUCKER: I’m just goofing off--
Cut to Tucker in the window. His
head and hand is on a platter with a sign reading “Head Cheese” by it.
TUCKER: --by myself now.
Cut to a farther shot of the store.
A man in a suit walks past without a care, but cringes as his hair jumps off
his head when he passes.
Contrary
to the joke, a meat connoisseur like Tucker would know that Head Cheese isn’t a
cheese, but yes, it is made from the meat of the head of a pig. Feet and hearts, too. Clunk.
Cut to Tucker’s head and hand with
PDA on the platter by some meat. A dog sniffs up to the window and looks at
Tucker.
SAM: What happened?
Tucker sticks his tongue out at the
dog, who runs away while Tucker looks mean.
SAM: Danny have ghost trouble?
Tucker looks to where the dog was
running.
TUCKER: You might say that. (looks back to the
PDA as if nothing happened) So, how are you?
Cut to Sam, in her bed with her
laptop and a tissue.
SAM: Ugh, it’s horrible, Tucker.
Sam breathes in and sneezes into her
tissue.
Cut to Sam’s laptop. Sam’s legs are
next to it. A window is open reading “Tucker Cam”, and
Tucker looks forward with his head on the platter. Sam puts down her hand.
Cut to Sam in her bed. Her bedposts
look like spider webs; posters on her wall read “electroclash”
and have an art-deco-style person on it.
A skull plushie is by her window and the tray where the soup was is next to
her.
SAM: But somehow I’ll (puts her hand on the top of her laptop) muddle through.
Cut to the laptop. It dings. Next to
the laptop is a cordless phone and a remote.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
I didn’t want--
Sam closes her laptop.
TUCKER: --to
tell Sam about my new ghost powers yet.
Cut to Sam. She picks up the remote
TUCKER: (voiceover)
What if she got as jealous as Danny did?
Sam pushes a button on the remote
with her thumb.
Cut to a side-view of Sam and her
bed. There’s a Japanese lantern on the top. Records litter the floor. Large
stereo speakers sprout from the floor and start blasting rock/metal music so loud
that everything (including Sam’s bed) is blown back.
Fade to
Change
of day. It’s Monday.
TUCKER: (voiceover) And speaking
of Danny…
Cut to a drinking fountain by a door
and a row of lockers. A poster above it reads “READ. DON’T BE AN IDIOT.” Lancer walks up to the fountain, bends down
and reaches for the knob while putting his other arm behind his back and
smiles.
Close-up on the knob by Lancer’s
hand. The knob abruptly turns by itself.
Cut to Lancer by the fountain. He is
sprayed by a large stream of water gushing from the fountain.
Cut to a wet Lancer.
LANCER: Moby (looks down) *Dick*!
Cut to Lancer’s shirt by the
fountain. The belt unbuckles and is pulled from his pants, then falls to the
ground.
Cut to a wet Lancer with his hands
on his face. He leans forward and looks carefully while splitting his hands.
Cut to a full shot of a wet Lancer
with his belt on the floor. He puts down his arms, confused and bends down to
pick up his belt, only to be splashed by another spray of water. He bends back
up, angry and wetter.
Cut to a wet Lancer with water
dripping on his face and shirt. He puts his arms at his sides has his tie is
lifted up and becomes undone. Lancer looks incredulously at his tie. He then
lifts his arms in shock.
LANCER: *Gulliver’s Travels*!
Close-up on Lancer.
LANCER: I’m losing my (eyes pop up) mind!
Cut to a full shot of Lancer with
his tie undone and his belt on the floor. His pants fall down, revealing a pair
of pink boxers with white, vertical stripes. Lancer is taken aback by the
sight.
LANCER: (bending
his knees) And my pants!
Two students, a boy with red hair
and a green backpack in the foreground and a girl with a purple belly shirt,
skirt and a small pigtail on top crowds to Lancer and laughs. The boy holds his
belly while the girl skips past with her hand on her mouth. Lancer looks irate.
Cut to a corner by a staircase. One
wall has a bulletin board on it, the other wall with a poster for a Bake
Cut to Tucker peeking behind the
corner. Behind him is a door reading “Personnel Only”. Tucker puts a hand on his mouth and pounds
the wall laughing as Danny with bags under his eyes walks up,
not amused.
Cut to Danny. He sniffles.
DANNY: Nice trick. (looks mad) Do you do kids’ parties?
Cut to Tucker from the back by the
bulletin board. He turns around.
TUCKER: Dude, relax. (turns to the right and shrugs) I’m just
having fun. (looks
with realization, then puts down his hands) You okay?
Cut to Danny by the “Personnel Only” door. He looks to the side.
DANNY: I may be catching Sam’s cold, (arches an eyebrow and holds out a hand) but
that’s not important right now. (lifts both hands out) Tucker, look--
Danny
has only called Sam, not been to her house. He said he WOULD visit her with
Tucker, but they got distracted and Tucker called her later. Because germs
don’t spread through the phone (but we advise you disinfect your phone
regularly, germs breed on it and you don’t realize how much you spit on it), I
say he’s catching his parent’s cold.
Of
course, there is always the possibility Danny popped in on Sam offscreen before
school or after Tucker left the prior day or something. That said, it could
in fact be a combination of Maddie, Jack, and Sam’s colds. It’s kind of strange he’d specify the bug as
being Sam’s cold if he *didn’t* visit
her offscreen. (Unless he just associates the bug he’s catching strictly with
Sam’s.)
Cut to Tucker.
TUCKER: (holding
out his hands) No need. (puts his arms up by his shoulders) You can keep that
superhero jazz to yourself, (puts down
one hand and points with the other) I’m in this for the kicks.
Dennis
finds this opinion very Tucker-like, but doesn’t believe Tucker would go about
pulling pranks on people. He’s more of a joy-rider like Danny, really. I think
he’d be better off using his ghost powers to score slam-dunks and take
shortcuts, but if he did that, we wouldn’t have a story! It’s obvious there’s a
part of Desiree in there controlling him, or the powers went to his head faster
than Danny’s power going to his head in M-M.
Cut to Danny and Tucker. Tucker puts
his hands on his hips.
DANNY: I was afraid--
Danny looks to the side in a *sigh*
way, Tucker looks smug.
DANNY: --of
that.
Danny puts a hand on Tucker’s
shoulder and puts his other arm out in front of him.
DANNY: I
hate to do this, pal,--
Danny leans back, clenching a fist
and straightening the arm on Tucker’s shoulder.
DANNY: --but
I need to see what’s going on inside of you and there’s only one way--
Danny concentrates and glows blue,
Tucker arches an eyebrow.
DANNY: --to
do that.
Tucker looks a little scared as Danny
turns blue and his eyes are green. Danny bends down and jumps into Tucker’s
chest. The screen darkens as Tucker turns all green.
Cut to Tucker, petrified. He leans
forward as he begins to glow green and his eyes turn red, grunting with effort
as he curls his fingers and grits his teeth. He concentrates and clenches his
fists.
Cut to a full shot of Tucker,
crouching and grunting. He stands up straight. Pan right as a blue, ghostly
Danny Fenton is ousted head-first out of Tucker, screaming.
Tucker
gets overshadowed by Danny often, and seems to be the only one conscious of
being overshadowed instead of getting the “what happened?” memory blur. If only
he could use this move without the aid of ghost powers. Luckily, no one else
overshadows Tucker, but one person DID attempt to overshadow Sam before but got
someone else. Clunk.
Cut to the “Personnel Only” door. Danny is flying on his back and phases head-first through the
door as a crashing is heard.
Cut to the door. Tucker puts his
hand on the knob and opens the door outward, revealing a very weak Danny lying
among fallen mobs, buckets and brushes.
That
door opened outward. Doors are supposed to open inward when entering a room.
Cut to Tucker looking mean in the
doorway.
TUCKER: Don’t (points a finger) *ever* do that again.
Close-up on Tucker.
TUCKER: *Get it*?!
Cut to Danny among the cleaning
supplies.
DANNY: Got it.
Cut to Tucker in the doorway with
his arms at his sides. Danny is seen among the cleaning supplies, weak and
dwarfed.
TUCKER: *Good*.
Tucker turns around and walks away.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
Okay, maybe I was a little rough on Danny.
Cut to Danny, sad and upset. Zoom
in.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
But nobody likes a party pooper. And man, was I having a party!
Fade to outside the cafeteria, as
evidenced by a large “CAFETERIA” sign above the door.
There are two trash bins visible in the hall. A line of five students is
holding trays. The second to last student turns his head back.
Cut to inside the cafeteria. A boy
is sitting down and chatting at a seat holding a cup with a plate of green
slop. The same five students are in line. As a floating tray passes by them,
they all turn in shock.
TUCKER: (invisible)
‘Scuse me, pardon me--
Pan right to show Star, shocked as
Tucker lifts his spoon.
TUCKER: (invisible)
Da-ta-da--
Cut to the tray as a spoon piles
green slop on the plate.
TUCKER: (invisible)
--da-duh-da, da-da-da-ta-da, da-da-da-ta-da.
Cut to the lunch line of uneasy
students. Tucker continues to hum as he lifts his spoon. Everyone else takes
off screaming and drops their trays.
Cut to the band classroom. In the
front are a boy with a violin and three other students playing woodwinds. The
middle row has small brass instruments. The back row is the large brass group.
They all play. Zoom in.
Cut to the ceiling. Tucker phases in
invisibly holding a very visible 2-liter bottle of purple soda.
Cut to the funnel of the tuba.
Tucker flies up with his soda sloshing, leaning in to pour it all inside.
Cut to the bottle as it continues to
drain in the tuba until the last drop. Tucker removes the bottle. Pan down to
the tuba player, a husky boy with glasses and a red shirt. He stops playing and
arches an eyebrow, then removes his mouth with his cheeks full as purple soda
drains from the mouthpiece. Streams of soda spurt out of the boy’s ears, mouth
and nose.
Another instance where Danny Phantom doesn’t fail to
retain some cartoon silliness like when toupees and hats fly. Clunk.
Cut to the side of
TUCKER: Hmm, there’s one little ghost trick (looks eagerly smug and looks to the side) I
haven’t tried yet. (crouches
down) The ghost imposed hook-up.
Cut to Paulina, walking along with a
blue book by her side.
Cut to Danny, bored. Zoom in
suddenly as his ghost sense goes off.
That’s
never happened before this time. The ghost in Tucker is getting stronger…
Cut to Tucker from the back, peeking
behind the pole. Pan right to Paulina walking along.
Cut to Danny.
DANNY: Oh no.
Cut to Tucker, smiling an evil smile
behind the pole. He glows blue and turns invisible, then flies off.
Cut to Paulina, walking along.
Tucker flies head-first into her body. Paulina throws herself back a little as
she glows blue.
Close-up on Paulina. Her eyes become a glowing blue. She closes her eyes and looks to the
side, smirking.
Cut to Paulina with a hand on her
hip. Danny walks up from the foreground.
Cut to Paulina.
TUCKER: I just want (Paulina lifts a palm) to let you know, (Paulina looks forward and holds her palm out) I’m gonna start
dating Tucker Foley! (leans
back and points a finger) He’s much cooler than you are,
(makes Paulina lean forward with her
hands on her hips) so, stop chasing me.
Cut to Danny, looking annoyed.
DANNY: Tucker, (lowers his eyelids) get out of there.
Cut to Paulina. She closes her eyes.
TUCKER: (immature
tone) Why don’t you make me?
Cut to Paulina, careless and Danny,
fists clenched. Paulina opens her glowing eyes and smiles a mean smile.
DANNY: *Fine*!
Danny turns invisible with green
eyes and leans forward.
DANNY: I
will!
Danny jumps inside Paulina, who
leans back petrified and glows green. She crouches forward with fists clenched.
Cut to Paulina from the back,
crouching over. She turns around and stands solid with her eyes a glowing
green.
DANNY: Tucker, you’re turning the whole
school upside down, (makes Paulina lower
her eyelids) how about giving it a break?
Cut to Paulina from the back. Her
eyes glow blue as she turns around and points with one hand on her hip.
TUCKER: How about getting off my back--
Paulina puts her palm down and leans
forward, clenching a fist.
TUCKER: --and
letting me have a little fun?
Cut to Paulina from the back as she
turns with her eyes green. She narrows her eyes and points with another finger.
DANNY: Because your fun is kind-of mean.
Now--
He puts down Paulina’s hand and
makes Paulina point over her shoulder with her thumb.
DANNY: --get
out of Paulina!
Cut to Paulina from the back with
her thumb over her shoulder. She turns around with blue eyes and throws her
arms at her sides.
TUCKER: I was here first! (narrows Paulina’s eyes) You go!
Cut to Paulina, leaning into the
shot with green eyes.
DANNY: No! *You*!
Cut to a tree. Paulina leans in with
blue eyes.
TUCKER: *You*! Babazita’s
genie gave me (makes Paulina point at
herself with her thumb) these powers and I’ll use ‘em how I want!
Cut to an angry looking Paulina from
the back. A tree is by her and the school is in front of her. She closes her
eyes and glows blue as Danny Phantom exits her body invisibly, looking down on
her. They stop glowing.
DANNY: Then maybe I need to have a chat with this--
Cut to Danny.
DANNY: --Babazita.
Danny rushes off quickly.
Cut to an angry Paulina with blue
eyes.
TUCKER: Fine. But you and I aren’t--
Paulina closes her eyes and puts a
hand to her mouth for amplification.
TUCKER: --friends
anymore, Danny Fenton!
Paulina leans back petrified and
glowing green with red eyes as Tucker flies out of her. She resumes normal
color, confused. She closes her eyes.
PAULINA: Oh, what? (looks to the right) *Huh*?
Zoom out to show a crowd of confused
students around her, one boy scratching his head and a girl with her hand to
her mouth. Paulina tries to have herself as she curls her fingers to her chest.
PAULINA: And… (angrily but confused) I never was friends
with--
She looks angry, then points up in
the sky and looks to the side, completely out of it.
PAULINA: --you!
Cut to an aerial shot of
TUCKER: (voiceover)
It was our first argument, and we were having it
over a girl!
Pan right over the orange trees.
Tucker floats up and looks down, smiling.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
Well, in one, actually. (turns around with a smug smile) But you get the point.
Tucker takes off.
Fade to Babazita.
She is wearing a pink bandana, hoop earrings, blush, eye shadow and her gold
skull pendant. She looks skeptical.
TUCKER: (voiceover) That…was my
mistake.
Zoom out to show Danny from the back
hunched over the table with one hand on it and the other hovering over it.
Danny silently explains the situation to Babazita.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
Reminding Danny where the ghost came from.
Zoom out. Danny steps back as Babazita jumps onto the table.
Cut to Babazita
on the table. She clasps her hands together, and then raises them up and belly
dances.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
Apparently Desiree was a harem girl--
Fade to a painted image of a human
Desiree with her arms overhead looking to the side with a smile, decked in gold
jewelry.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
--who had been promised--
Pan out to show the whole image to
include a fat Sultan on a plush throne.
TUCKER: --her
heart’s desire.
Fade to an image of Desiree
overlooking a castle with many mosques as the Sultan points to it.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
Her own kingdom.
Fade to an image of a sad Desiree
crying and looking away.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
Only to be banished--
Zoom out to show the Sultan’s wife
in the doorway, angry and pointing out. The Sultan looks confused behind her.
TUCKER: --by
the Sultan’s jealous wife.
Fade to Danny, looking blankly.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
She died of a broken heart.
Cut to Babazita
with her arms out at her sides. She groans as she clutches her heart and
twitches her eyes, faking a heart attack.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
And old age.
She then calms down.
Fade to a picture of a ghostly
Desiree flying forward, as if looking for something. She is in a medieval Robin
Hood-like village.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
After that her spirit roamed,
Fade to an image of Desiree smiling
with her hand out as if granting a wish.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
granting people’s deepest desires-
Zoom out to reveal the whole image
as a Robin Hood-esque man is leaning back and ecstatic over a bag with a dollar
sign on it raining gold coins on him.
Dennis
nitpicks because the dollar sign, an S with two lines, is American (it was
originally a U within an S). Desiree is in
Fade to Desiree, floating away,
looking sad.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
But at a great personal cost.
Zoom out to reveal that the man is
holding a stack of gold coins in his hand with many hearts floating around him
to a greedy-looking maiden in blue holding out her hands.
Fade to Babazita
holding her heart, also looking sad.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
Hey, who knew?
That’s
not exactly how the wishes go, Desiree. Usually something bad would happen to
the wisher. Maybe that girl steals his money and dumps him.
Babazita shrugs.
Cut to Danny, listening intently.
Zoom in on him.
That
was a fairly fractured fairy tale. Dennis wanted to write a detailed version of
the tale but she couldn’t because her genre is the crazy realms of science
fiction. After she finishes her current story, she has another weird science
fiction one in the works, but more close-to-home this time. She’ll get around
to doing it when she gets bored one day and inspiration strikes.
Fade to a park. Danny is standing
next to a fountain with a coin on his fist and the Thermos in the other. A
woman on a bench feeds the ducks. The trees all around are orange and some city
buildings are seen in the background. Danny puts a hand to his nose and
sniffles. He puts his arm back in place. Zoom in.
DANNY: If you’re trying to snag a wishing
ghost--
Cut to Danny looking down at a
silver coin in his two fingers.
DANNY: --what better place than (perks up
and smiles) a wishing well?
Danny flicks the coin and looks down
at it.
Cut to the fountain. Ripples are in
it. Danny looks at his reflection in the water until it vanishes completely
when the coin splashes.
Cut to Danny, looking down. He rolls
his eyes back, then to the side. He looks down, frustrated.
DANNY: (whispering)
Dang it.
Danny sneezes and looks bored. He
turns around and walks off with bags under his eyes.
Cut to Danny, walking away with bags
under his eyes with his thermos. A man with red hair and a business suit walks
up to the fountain with his hands in his pockets. He gazes into the fountain.
Cut to the man. He holds up a coin
in two fingers.
BUSINESSMAN: I wish I had a million (flicks the coin) bucks.
Cut to the water. The coin splashes.
Zoom out to show the legs of the man. Pan up. The man looks off to the side as
the sky turns magenta and the trees turn blue. Green smoke wafts as swirls
around him and his arms. The man looks up to the right.
DESIREE: So it is--
The man looks down.
DESIREE:
--desired,--
The man looks to the left a little
and smiles.
DESIREE: --so
shall it--
The man looks down to the right.
DESIREE: --be.
The man looks down now.
Cut to Danny, walking away until he
turns around suddenly with his thermos.
DANNY: Huh?
Close-up on Danny. He makes a serious face as his eyes turn green and his hair turns
white.
Record
fastest transformation in all of Danny Phantom: A split-second because it was
done on a close-up.
Cut to the man with green smoke swirling
about him. Danny walks over with his hands out and picks up the man. The man is
confused at the smoke wafts away. Danny takes the man in his arms.
DANNY: Oh no, you don’t!
Cut to a back-view of Danny holding
the man. An impish, green Desiree sways up with her red eye.
DESIREE: Young intruder,--
She resumes shape and color, her
hips swaying as she looks down upon them.
DESIREE: --you
dare to interfere with (lifts her arms
and clenches her fists) *my*--
Close-up on her eye.
DESIREE: --spellbinding?!
Cut to a dazed Danny holding a dazed
man in his arms. The man is clinging on to Danny. Danny looks to him.
BUSINESSMAN: Money isn’t everything!
The man wails and takes off. Danny
has his empty hands out as he turns to the right where the man ran off to.
Cut to Danny. He crouches over and
points a finger.
DANNY: Listen, Desiree. I want you to take
away Tucker’s ghost powers *pronto*!
He
actually tried to make a deal with the genie. Of course, he did WANT it, so it
should have worked, but…
Maybe
if he had said “I wish”.
Cut to Danny pointing up, seen from
the back. Desiree floats above him in front of the fountain.
DESIREE: I cannot.
Danny puts his hand back and gets
into a fighting stance. Desiree smiles and crosses her arms.
DESIREE: By
noon tomorrow, you’re friend’s fate will be sealed!
She lets out her arms and starts
laughing an evil laugh.
Cut to Desiree. She stands up
straight and serious.
DESIREE: His jealousy--
Zoom in on Desiree.
DESIREE: --will
transform him *forever*--
She leans forward and clenches her
fists in front of her, smiling a plotting smile.
DESIREE: --into
the most (flies up and lifts her breast
to the sky) powerful ghost boy in the (opens
her eye) world!
But
this is before BR, and Vlad’s not a boy. There’s only one, all Tucker has to be
is one micron more powerful than Danny. Clunk.
Desiree laughs evilly again.
Cut to Danny, popping up into the
shot.
DANNY: Tuck? (looks down at himself, arching an eyebrow) He’s
not *that* jealous, (looks to the
audience, then up at Desiree) is he?
Cut to Desiree, her chin high.
DESIREE: More than (looks down and narrows her eyelid) you know.
Cut to Danny in a fighter’s stance
with Desiree floating next to him.
DESIREE: Tomorrow his jealousy and frustration
will cement into (straightens up and
throws down her arms) rage and (clenches
her fists up) rebellion.
She leans to Danny with her fingers
curled.
DESIREE: He
will be complete.
During
that monologue, Danny didn’t even move. Well, he blinked a couple times, but I call
it “cardboard-cutout syndrome”. It happens often in DP, most obvious in IC and
during a tree falling in BM.
Desiree swoops away but Danny jumps
up and grabs her tail in both hands.
Cut to Danny. He puts his head down
in a serious tone.
DANNY: You change him--
Zoom out to show his hands on Desiree’s tail.
DANNY: --*back*!
Cut to Desiree from behind. She
turns her head, angry and she clenches a fist.
DESIREE: You dare lay a hand on (tenses her arms at her sides) me?
She turns more and holds up a hand
with tensed fingers.
DESIREE: No man may lay a hand on me unless *I*--
Close-up on Desiree.
DESIREE: --wish it!
No
man? Well, she WAS a harem girl. Men probably laid hands on her pretty often.
I’m
pretty sure she’s implying now she controls who touches her, after all the
emotional pain she went through in life.
Most likely, she doesn’t trust men at all anymore.
Cut to Danny holding Desiree’s tail.
DANNY: Yeah?
Zoom in on Danny.
DANNY: How
‘bout a fist?!
Cut to Danny holding Desiree’s tail
and Desiree looking angry at him. Danny grunts with effort doing a spin-punch
but Desiree floats away and he part of her tail left
behind fades away.
Cut to Desiree, floating back into
the shot with a smug look. She holds out her hand, and it curls into a tied
lasso loop. She throws it back, panning right as the rope moves forward.
Desiree’s
arm-morph move is fairly unique to her. She uses it again in MB when she turns
her hand into a sledgehammer to crush Danny.
Cut to a frightened Danny as the
rope lands around his waist, causing him to cringe down. He screams as he is
pulled up offscreen.
Cut to Desiree, strained with effort
floating up to toss Danny. Pan up to Danny in Desiree’s lasso loop. He grunts
again as the rope is flung the other way.
Cut to a happy old lady in a pink
dress and glasses on a bench holding a paper back and feeding the birds. The
birds coo and fly away, panning right as Danny grunts in pain, landing on and
totally crushing the other half of the bench.
Cut to Desiree in the air,
retracting her arm. She flies forward in rage on a dark purple action
background.
Cut to Danny, getting up. He is
holding a ball of green energy in his hands behind his head, about the size of
his head.
DANNY: Get back!
Danny tosses the ball into a beam
onto a magenta action background.
Cut to Desiree looking shocked as
she flies forward on her magenta action background. She cries out as she is
flipped over and knocks away by the energy ball.
Cut to just over the fountain.
Desiree shoots from the air in a stream of green smoke and lands face-first
with her hands on the ground, her hair covering her. Danny swoops around and
floats over her.
Cut to Desiree on the ground. She
looks up, irritated. She holds up a hand that glows white and smiles a wide-toothed
smile as it grows big and runs forward in a green action background.
Cut to Danny, floating as the hand
closes in and takes him, slamming him on the ground. Danny grunts in pain as
the concrete cracks.
Cut to Danny, restrained by
Desiree’s large, glowing hand. He tries to pry off her hand.
DANNY: Can’t break (turns his head left) free! (looks up at Desiree) Can’t go intangible and--
He bends his arm and holds onto the
hand to pry himself free, his eyes twitching with effort.
DANNY: --escape!
Danny’s eyes pop open, panning
up-left to the Fenton Thermos and its strap by a pile of rubble.
This
is a good time when the morphing/misting power would come in handy at a time
when it was still considered a power. Danny misted out of a dragon’s grasp in
PB (his only misting until he decided not to do it again), and he got out of a
Hair Hornet lasso in AotKGS by morphing out of the
loop with his spectral tail.
Cut to Desiree.
DESIREE: You can’t do anything unless I (leans back and holds up a fist by her side)
wish it!
Cut to Danny in the grasp of
Desiree.
DANNY: Or *I* do!
Zoom out to reveal the Thermos in
the rubble. Danny reaches for it and puts his hand on the cap.
Cut to a side view of Desiree
floating over Danny with her giant hand on the ground, taken by surprise. Danny
is unscrewing the lid.
DANNY: I wish you would disappear (holds up the thermos in front of Desiree) inside
this thermos!
Cut to Desiree, shocked.
DESIREE: What?
She leans back with her hand near
her chest and her giant fist in the air.
DESIREE: *No*!
Close-up on Desiree.
DESIREE: I must obey!
Cut to Desiree with her giant fist.
She starts to glow all blue as she lifts her arms and starts getting pulled
away in wisps.
DESIREE: You will pay for this!
Cut to a smiling Danny holding up
the thermos with the blue beam as the green smoke of Desiree is sucked inside.
Desiree continues to scream.
DESIREE: HEEEEY!
Cut to the thermos as the last of
the green smoke is sucked in. Danny caps it. Zoom out. Danny pops with
realization.
DANNY: If I weren’t a C student, I would’ve
thought of that five days ago.
Hmm. The game was Saturday night; the theater was
Sunday and today was Monday. Are you saying that you were at the swap meet on
Wednesday, or are you generalizing?
Other
than that, don’t be so hard on yourself. You’re a smart kid; your grades are
slipping because ghost fighting doesn’t give you the time to study. Can’t say
the same for the later-season Danny when his brains dry up and he becomes a
jerk, but…
Danny looks behind him and smiles.
DANNY: Now to find Tuck!
Danny prepared for flight and takes
off.
Usually
when you defeat a ghost, their work becomes complete undone. Desiree’s work
must’ve taken a life of its own now.
Fade to the interior of
Dennis
likes to take note of clocks. This is the only time an analog Casper High clock
is accurate because someone is looking at it. Oh, and it’s
Tuesday.
Zoom out. Danny runs up.
DANNY: Quarter to noon and--
Danny turns his head back and walks
toward a door under the clock.
DANNY: --no
sign of Tucker--
He pops with realization.
Cut to Danny. His ghost sense goes
off, and he turns up to the left.
Cut to the top of the door by the
clock, which somehow reads “9:00” now. The sign reads “School Records”.
Cut to Danny. He looks all “*sigh*”.
DANNY: Should’ve guessed.
Cut to Tucker at a computer terminal
in a darkened room fill of filing cabinets. Beeping is heard. Zoom out to show
Tucker typing and the door behind him. Danny walks through intangibly and
resumes full color as Danny Phantom.
Cut to the screen. It reads:
Permanent
Record
Tucker
Foley:
History D
Spanish C
Algebra F
Sewing A
Physical Ed. F
Computers A
All the letters turn into As.
DANNY: (offscreen)
Tucker, you’re changing your grades?
Cut to Danny, berating.
DANNY: That’s *cheating*!
Not
just cheating, that’s illegal. Kids get expelled when they hack into school
computers and change their grades. You don’t really need ghost powers to
accomplish that, only if you need to phase through a locked door and you can’t
get the key. Clunk.
“That’s
*cheating*!” …so says the boy whose family is destroyed in an alternate
timeline mainly due to cheating on the CAT. Further evidence
that Danny in Season 1 had common sense. =w=;;
Cut to Tucker from the back at the
computer. A lamp next to him is on. He turns around and spreads one hand on the
keyboard, hanging the other on the chair.
TUCKER: I like to think of it as (puts out a palm) “academic enrichment”.
He hangs his hand on the chair and
smirks.
TUCKER: Want me to do yours?
Cut to a smug Tucker in the chair
being looked over by an irked Danny with his fists clenched.
DANNY: No way.
Tucker pops up, mad. Danny shows
concern.
DANNY: Tucker,--
Danny holds out a hand of warning as
Tucker gets up and turns to face Danny.
DANNY: --you’re
in real danger.
Cut to the body of Tucker, looking
mad. He glows green. Pan up to show Tucker’s face transforming, with green skin
and liver spots, pointed ears, teeth and fingers as he growls.
Cut to Danny, holding up a hand in
fear. He puts up two hands to block.
DANNY: Take it easy. (hunches over and puts out his hands in a
matter-of-fact way) We’re friends, (curls
his fingers) remember?
Cut to a glowing, ghostly Tucker in
a fighter’s stance, Danny is seen from the back.
Zoom in slowly on Tucker.
TUCKER: We’re only friends on your terms. But
now (points to himself with his thumb) I
make the rules around here. (puts his hands back into the stance) And my first rule
is--
Close-up on Tucker.
TUCKER: No more Danny Phantom.
Cut to a glowing Tucker looking
angrily at a scared Danny. Tucker takes in a deep breath and jumps in the air,
letting out a stream of rank, yellow smoke at Danny who is knocked back offscreen.
Cut to outside the door in a
darkened hallway. Danny screams as he phases through the door on his back
head-first. Pan right to a row of lockers with one teenage boy at his. He looks
to the spot that Danny phased through.
Cut to a science lab with many
beakers, test tubes, and chemicals on counters with stools. A formula on the
blackboard reads “radical R/Q-squared Ri”, Danny
slams intangibly into it, resuming full color and shattering it, sliding down
to the floor.
Cut to Danny with his head down. He
looks up.
DANNY: He’s getting more malevolent.
Close-up on Danny. His eyes pop up.
DANNY: More ghost-like!
Malevolent
means “malicious and spiteful” (and I love having both together, it feels like
I’m sucking on a very delectable sour candy). Synonyms for “ghostly” include
“spectral” or “supernatural”. Clunk.
Cut to the wall of the science lab
with a shelf of beakers by it. Tucker phases through the door and resumes
color.
Cut to Danny with a hand down. He
stands up.
DANNY: Tuck, *please*! (puts his hands up to block) You have to
listen to me!
Close-up on Danny.
DANNY: There isn’t much time!
Cut to Tucker. He extends his arm
and points.
TUCKER: You’ve got that right!
He sweeps up his hands behind him
and looks up as he produces a ball of energy.
TUCKER: Your
time is up!
Pan left as Tucker sends out the
green beam.
Cut to Danny, crouching on the
ground by the debris. He jumps and evades as the beam hits the wall behind him.
Cut to another blackboard near the
ceiling. It reads “radical (symbol) squared/Q-squared Ri. Danny flies up and rotates so he’s parallel to
the ceiling as shots miss him. He swoops down as the shots smolder.
Cut to Danny swooping down behind
Tucker as Tucker looks up and shoots another beam. Danny lands and flicks off
Tucker’s beret with one finger and an evil smile. Tucker stops immediately,
confused. Danny flies off as Tucker attempts a spin-punch but fails. Tucker
then sends out another green beam.
Cut to a counter in the science lab
with flasks, beakers and test tubes. Danny lands and runs in slow-motion as
Tucker’s beam hit the wall behind them, then a beaker, then a flask, the table,
the test tube rack, the large flask and the table and the wall. Danny ducks
behind the table with a teaching skeleton next to him.
Cut to an angry Tucker with green-yellow
streams smoldering on him. They stop smoldering as he bends down and puts on
his beret. Zoom in as his face becomes totally shocked.
Cut to Danny holding the teaching
skeleton over his shoulder as he turns to toss it toward the camera.
Cut to Tucker. He turns intangible
hunches over with his hands on his head, opening an eyes
to the wall as the skeleton crashes into it and becomes a pile of bones. Tucker
resumes color and surveys the damage.
Cut to Tucker, popping up in the
shot.
TUCKER: *Ha*! Is that the (closes in on the camera) best you can do?!
Cut to Danny from the back with his
hand on the counter. He ducks as more zappers shatter more beakers. Pan down to
Danny with his hands back to the counter.
DANNY: Unfortunately, yes. I can’t get
through to him!
Close-up on Danny. He smirks.
DANNY: But I know what can!
Cut to Tucker floating in the
foreground in front of a charred wall and counter. Danny floats up in front of
it.
DANNY: Catch me if you can, Sucker Phantom!
Danny stands up straight with a
cheesy smile and wave as he turns intangible and phases through the floor.
Cut to the floor. There’s a stream
of light where Danny phased through. Tucker walks up to the spot with his fist
clenched.
TUCKER: That’s Tucker Phantom!
He turns intangible as he tenses his
arms at his sides and yells.
TUCKER: *Tucker*!
No
wonder Danny’s banned for life for handling all fragile school property. Look
at that mess they made in the lab! It’s worse than
Tucker jumps into the floor.
Cut to a locker room. Towels are
hanging. Danny descends onscreen.
DANNY: The girl’s locker room!
Danny speeds away into the lockers.
Tucker descends.
Cut to Tucker. He relaxes and looks
to the side, resuming full color.
TUCKER: The girl’s locker room... (smiles and puts
his hands down) So this is what it’s like in here!
Danny comes in and bags a bra over
Tucker’s head, smiling evilly. Zoom out. Danny pulls him aside and starts
flying off with him. Tucker screams.
On
the last day of any school year, Dennis has a tradition that she creeps into
the boy’s rooms when no one is in there. Usually they are cesspits. One time in
her middle school years, she found out the boy’s showers were like a tunnel
instead of the girl’s individual showers. No wonder Danny cares about privacy
in EfaE.
Cut to an aerial view of the school
gym. It’s dark and empty and the clock reads “11:00”, once again broken. The center of the floor reads “Ravens” on both sides and has a shield with “CH”
instead of the correct CHS on it. Danny and Tucker phase through the
wall above the bleachers.
Cut to a basketball hoop. Danny
slam-dunks Tucker head-first through the hoop with the bra, Danny’s butt is in
the air. The bra falls as he looks down upon the floor with an evil smile.
Cut to the floor. Tucker lands on
his nose with his legs over him. The bra falls on his butt so the cups look
like cheeks.
Ew. No. Grody. Ew. No. You’re grody.
Ew. Ew. Ew.
Cut to the clock. It reads 11:55. Zoom out to show Danny looking at it. He turns his head.
DANNY: Only five minutes left!
Danny tenses his arms and smiles an
evil smile.
DANNY: *Ha*!
Close-up on Danny.
DANNY: You got *no* game!
Cut to Tucker on the ground, looking
down. He lifts his head up, angry. Then he stands up as the toes on his shoes
fall off. His skin starts crawling. Pan up as Tucker grows and roars like a
beast, his shirt is torn at the edges. The background turns red.
Close-up on Tucker. He opens his solid-red eyes.
Cut to a scared Danny. Zoom in.
Cut to Tucker from the back with
Danny floating far away. Tucker’s backpack looks tiny compared to him. Danny
turns around, turns intangible and flies off through
the wall. Tucker crouches, turns intangible and
follows him.
Cut to a reddened sky, far away from
a grayed
Cut to a red action background.
Tucker’s fists are in the foreground with Danny in hot pursuit. Danny swoops
around and vanishes in a spark. Tucker’s hands open in surprise.
Cut to Tucker. He is flying forward
but slows down in the air.
TUCKER: Where are you?
Cut to Tucker. He strains his veiny neck up.
TUCKER: Where?!
Tucker is surprised as a ghost sense
that looks just like Danny’s goes off. Pan right as Tucker turns and purses his
lip to a Danny floating behind him is his arms crossed.
Dennis
questions why Tucker has a ghost sense, other than Desiree just wanted to copy
all of Danny’s powers two-or-tenfold. That’s why a half-ghost registers on his
radar. Urban Jungle made for a lot of retcons.
DANNY: What’s the matter?
Cut to Danny.
DANNY: Can’t catch what you can’t see?
Cut to Danny, floating with his arms
crossed. Tucker floats in from the left trying to grab him, but Danny vanishes
is a flash of light.
Cut to FentonWorks. Pan up over the
huge machine over the house. Danny floats in turning visible, flying prone on
his stomach.
Cut to Danny as he looks behind him.
DANNY: Where is he? (rolls his eyes up) He has to have
followed me!
Danny turns his head behind him.
DANNY: It’s almost noon!
Tucker floats up in front of Danny
and ambushes him. Danny is terrified and has bags under his eyes.
TUCKER: Yeah, what’s the (yells as he looks over Danny) dizzle, *fizzle*?!
Tucker bags Danny and swoops down.
Cut to the top of the machine on
FentonWorks. Pan down as Tucker and Danny fly down intangibly through the top.
A flash of light is seen from one of the second-floor windows with a crash, and
from a first-floor window with a glass shattering.
Cut to an intangible Danny on a red
action background with Tucker’s hands on him.
DANNY: (fake
distressed tone) No! (looks down) Don’t throw me into (looks up) the Ghost Zone! (closes his eyes and shouts) *PLEASE*!
Danny opens his eyes. Cut to Tucker.
TUCKER: I wasn’t going to, (smiles) but that is a *great* idea!
Once
again, like in AotKGS, Danny throws out a suggestion
for the enemy. Danny, stop yelling mid-fight banter in battle or you’ll get
yourself in trouble. Of course, that DOES mean you may be smarter than you
think if you inspire people. Clunk.
Hmm? You mean you couldn’t tell Danny did it *on purpose* in order to get Tucker down
to the lab?? I thought Danny’s tone made it obvious that was his plan all
along, not to mention Danny saying “Unless…” earlier last scene. He’s had the plan in his head for quite some
time, hence why he tricked Tucker to follow him in the first place. In AotKGS though,
yes, his suggestions were unintentional.
Cut to the lab. The top of the Ghost
Catcher is visible. Danny and Tucker phase through the ceiling. Pan down to the
floor, with the closed Portal visible. Tucker holds Danny in front of him.
Cut to a digital clock. It reads “11:59:51”. The numbers change with the second.
DANNY: (offscreen)
Only gonna have one shot at this.
Pan left to Danny looking back at
the clock. He looks down seriously as he and Tucker resume full color.
Cut to Danny’s body with clenched
fists. They start to glow all green.
Cut to Danny, looking down. His eyes
pop with realization. He sneezes forcefully with a blue stream coming from his
mouth.
Cut to Tucker holding a Danny with
glowing hands. Tucker and Danny land as Tucker releases his grasp, holding out
his hands. Danny is in a fighter’s stance.
TUCKER: Hey! Cover your mouth!
Tucker looks in surprise as Danny
lifts his hands behind him, jumping forward to punch Tucker and fling him offscreen.
Danny goes back into his read pose with glowing hands.
Cut to the Ghost Catcher. Tucker
floats toward it back-first with his arms and legs forward. When he travels
through it, the ghostly blue monster Tucker floats out and the normal, human
Tucker with streams of smoke coming from it lands on the floor safely on his
backpack.
Cut to Tucker on the ground. He
opens his eyes groggily.
TUCKER: Is... (points up a finger) Is that *me*?
Cut to the blue monster Tucker
growling and hanging his arms over the normal Tucker. The human Tucker crouches back as saliva drips from the ghost’s mouth.
Tucker covers his head with an arm and puts up a foot when the monster roars at
him, but the monster stops in surprise as his tail is pulled offscreen. He
looks to the back in shock, panning right as Danny is sucking him into the
Thermos.
Cut to Danny, sweating.
DANNY: No, (lowers his arms a little) it’s not you, Tuck. (closes his eyes) Not anymore.
Cut to Danny with the Thermos. He
puts the thermos down and caps it as Tucker walks onscreen with his palms out
in apology.
TUCKER: Aw. Man, Danny. (puts his hands to himself) I’m sorry. (looks down) I-I
couldn’t control myself.
Of course not. It wasn’t all you there, it was Desiree’s
magic overpowering you.
Cut to Danny. He puts down the
Thermos and leans back, eyes closed and smiling. His voice sounds a bit
congested.
DANNY: Dude, (opens his eyes calmly) don’t worry about it. (sniffles) You were under the genie’s
spell, and you broke it.
Not
quite. Danny pushed you to excise it. But that’s one way of getting rid of a
spell.
Cut to Tucker.
TUCKER: Yeah, but, (looks up in concern) none of that would’ve happened (looks down) if I wasn’t jealous.
Cut to Danny and Tucker, Danny with
his hand on the cap.
DANNY: Or if I had been a little less of a
show-off around you.
Both kids smile as Danny holds out a
hand.
DANNY: Friends?
Cut to their hands coming together.
TUCKER: The best.
Danny
didn’t exactly show-off, other than the time he phased through a trash can
absently. It’s more like Tucker perceived it that way. But that still rings
true.
Cut to Tucker and Danny shaking
hands with the hut and the staircase behind them. Pan left. The two walk off
carelessly. When they are gone, Jack opens the tent and looks while Maddie
looks the other way.
Cut to Jack and Maddie. They
exchange glances and shrug. Jack closes the door.
In
this episode, there are a number of Tucker and Danny conversations that other
people aren’t supposed to hear for some reason. But my real nitpick is that the
stairs were just next to the hut and the kids didn’t walk anywhere near them.
Where’d they go? Jack and Maddie could’ve either saw them or they flew away
invisibly before the Fentons could see them.
Fade to a blue house on a street.
Two trees grow around it.
TUCKER: (voiceover) Tucker Foley, digital
journal. Saturday.
It’s been four days already? Wow! Time sure
flies in just one fade.
Zoom in on the house.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
They say “be careful what you wish for”. To that
I’d like to add a big fat “DUH!”
Cut to Tucker, pale and sweating on
a pillow, wrapped in a pink blanket and a green, plaid towel with white polka
dots, a thermometer in his mouth and writing with his stylus on his PDA. The
PDA beeps.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
Especially when it comes to best friends.
Zoom out to reveal Danny on a pillow
with a red hot water bottle on his head, sick and pale and wrapped in yellow
blanket and a red towel. Tucker looks to him, smiling.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
‘Cause I couldn’t wish for a better one.
Tucker and Danny sneeze at the same
time.
Cut to Tucker and Danny. They are both on a green sofa with their blankets and towels. Danny has
blue bunny slippers. On the table is a box of tissues, used tissues, a bottle
of red medicine, and a green bottle. Tissues litter the floor. The wastebasket
is brimming with them, and there’s another box next to the sofa. Sam walks up
with a yellow tray and two orange bowls of steaming broth.
SAM: Geez, do you
guys have to share *everything*?
Cut to Danny and Tucker. Danny
sniffles and smiles.
DANNY: You don’t know the *half* of it.
Tucker and Danny smile at each
other.
Iris out on Tucker.
